Overall winner of the Property Council of

Australia Rider Levett Bucknall Innovation and Excellence Awards was One Shelley Street, Sydney, owned and managed by Brookfield Multiplex, and designed by Fitpatrick + Parners.

The Macquarie Group leased building, which also won the award for office development, makes a stunning addition to the Sydney streetscape with its external diagonal steel structural system.

Property Council CEO Peter Verwer said: “The development of One Shelley Street, its concept, design, construction and operation has been a once-in-a-lifetime journey for Brookfield Multiplex, Macquarie Group, the design team, subcontractors, suppliers and individual workers on the project.

“One Shelley Street is a striking combination of form, function and sustainability and it is a remarkable visual landmark on Sydney’s CBD.”

The award winners were chosen from a field of more than 100 finalists.

Managing director of Rider Levett Bucknall Sydney Bob Richardson said the community has benefited enormously from the development of One Shelley

Street and the other projects acknowledged by the awards.

“The exceptional overall design quality of One Shelley Street stands as the result of considerable effort and attention to detail from the design and construction teams,” he said
